Authorities say Baltimore County Police Department's Crash Team is now investigating a bus accident that left five students and the bus driver injured Friday morning.

Police say the crash that occurred in the 10800 block of Greenspring Ave. as the bus was driving to Pikesville Middle School. During the accident, the bus rolled over and came to rest in a wooded area along the side of the road.

According to officials, authorities and Fire & EMS personnel came to the scene around 7:40 a.m. When they arrived, the driver and the students had already evacuated the scene on their own.

Fire personnel then conducted a thorough search of the bus and found no one trapped, authorities say.

Officials say five of the students and the bus driver -who was a woman- were transported to local hospitals for treatment of minor injuries. Officials say the parents of the other five declined treatment. Some of them were taken home, while others went to classes.

The bus driver was transported to Sinai Trauma and the students were transported to Johns Hopkins Hospital's pediatric center and to Greater Baltimore Medical Center, according to officials.

Katelyn Flaks, a seventh grader who was riding the bus told WBAL News that the bus, "swerved a couple times. Then, I felt the bus turn around, then we were upside down."

She noted that the accident happened so fast; many students didn't panic during the accident.

Flaks was one of the students taken to the hospital as a precaution. She was able to use her cell phone to call her parents.

"They were in shock. They were asking 'are you seriously hurt?' Many other people were calling 9-1-1," Flaks added.

Flaks added that it appeared the bus driver was seriously hurt. She notes this was her regular bus driver.

Flaks' mother Sherri said that her daughter is doing well. She also praised emergency officials and school officials who responded.

"My husband was there, and he thinks that the response was approrpiate, and orderly, and that's probably worth stating," she told WBAL News.

Police say the Crash Team is now in the beginning stages of an investigation.

The cause for the accident has not yet been identified.

School officials of Baltimore County Public Schools say they will also conduct an internal investigation on the accident.
